WHY DOES ESG DATA MATTER?
Environmental, social, governance (ESG) issues—environmental degradation,
child labor, corruption, etc.— can translate into reputational, compliance and
financial risks. The management of ESG issues is directly linked to a company’s
operational excellence and its social license to operate. With increasing global
awareness and evolving stakeholder expectations, transparency is now the
new normal. This has led to the unprecedented need for the integration of
ESG issues into all aspects of business.
